Auntie M

I've loved the Wizard of OZ every since I was little and it would be quite fitting for BlingGirl to wear a pair of Ruby Slippers, however instead of playing the role of Dorthy I am going to be playing the role of
Auntie M!

Yes boys & girls you heard that right,
I AM GOING TO BE AN AUNT!!!

About a month ago I got a call from my sister I don't remember how the conversation went but for some reason I kept asking her if she was pregnant and she promised she wasn't and the next day I got the call, well, actually it was a text:
EPT +

For those of you who don't know, I have one brother & one sister. At the time I found out my sister was pregnant I knew that my sister-in-law had stopped taking her birth control. I predicted to Corinne that her & Stephanie would be pregnant and the same time...

Yesterday morning my brother called me, he said that he is excited to be an Uncle but not as excited as he is that is he going to be a Dad!!!!

In the next 8 months I'm going to become
Auntie M x3!!!
My sister, my brother's wife & my husband's sister
are all 3 pregnant right now!

Troy's sister, Tanya is going to give birth any day now. She has gone through a lot this last week, she was induced and was supposed to have her baby last Thursday, but her little girl is just not ready yet.

I have to tell of her ordeal, she's an amazing woman.

Wednesday night she was induced & started her contractions immediately, 1-2 minutes apart. They told her she wasn't dilated enough for the epidural and tried giving her pain medication through and IV which made her throw up so they had to stop the IV medication. After that they told her that she could have the epidural, but Tanya has problems with her blood clotting & has to take blood thinner medication, so when her body was finally ready for it her blood was too thin and they couldn't give it to her, 16 hours later she got the epidural.

She started the pitocyn & the contractions were even stronger, but the epidural had kicked in and she couldn't feel them.

28 hours later she was still only dilated just barely above 1cm; still having contractions 5 minutes apart she was released from the hospital and sent home to rest & recover for her next go round. If their little girl doesn't decide to come earlier she'll be back again next Wednesday.

We can't wait to see you and we are sending you all our love and energy!
